Hello Jerry,
What was the $50 price tag for? Is that for Bobcat?
Thanks,
Mark

-Before I bought Net-Tamer some years ago, I remember trying out an
-early version of Bobcat -- I got it going after a lot of trouble,
-but it was pretty weak. So I was curious to try out the latest
-version of Bobcat, which now works much more easily, and it only
-took me about an hour to get it to dialup properly (after fiddling
-with the dialup script). I have to admit that Bobcat parses web
-pages much neater than Net-Tamer, except I don't believe that
-Minuet's price tag ($50.00) makes up for the e-mail/news
-capabilities combined in Net-Tamer. Nonetheless, I set up Bobcat
-for DOS web browsing and will probably use it more for that than I
-would with Net-Tamer. Although it's a lot less convenient, it *is*
-possible for me to view and send/reply to e-mail on my ISP, which
-has Web e-mail access, with Bobcat.
-Of course, it's hard to match what Net-Tamer does with such a small
-amount of resources! ;-)
-Thanks for pointing me to Bobcat again... it's certainly about the
-best example (along with Doslynx) of what can be done with plain
-text, the Web and DOS.
